THE SEASON SYNOPSIS

There were hiccups along the way for the 2014-15 Duke basketball champs. Fortunately for Coach K, his perfect mix of five-star freshmen and reliable vets provided loads of resilience, whether when sweeping UNC and others in the regular season or when fighting back against Wisconsin at the NCAA Championship Game in Indianapolis.

The rookie talents powered the engine. But the brilliant senior leader, Quinn Cook, steered the ship. All in all, across the final 19 games, the Blue Devils were nothing short of legendary, with the lone loss in that span coming to Notre Dame in the ACC Tournament.
